Hispanic dancers have long graced American stages, but their presence, which was once notable, is fast becoming the norm - a fact that was evident at the 10th annual International Ballet Festival here this weekend. It’s hard not to think that today’s crop of top Latin stars will eventually have an effect on American ballet. In some ways, they already have.

Pedro Pablo Peña, the artistic director of the festival, emphasized that the event, which featured companies from 10 countries plus Puerto Rico, was devoted to dance, period, and not to Hispanic dance. Still, as with ballet itself these days, the festival had a decidedly Spanish accent.
